The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1922

"No, why?" Cassie hustled and settled back in the passenger seat. She grabbed her purse and rested it on her lap in an attempt to find her cellphone. It seemed like a never-ending task to find it, as it was always hidden underneath the piles of stuff inside her purse.

As soon as she got her hands on the phone, and without even struggling for a second, Cassie found Holley's headlines trending on social media.

Cassie was awe-struck, and her eyes were clearly wide open. Her jaw had literally dropped open. She inquired with a skeptical tone, "Isla, did you do this?"

"No, it's Charles." Even though Isla had not done any investigation to determine the truth, she was damn sure that Charles was behind this.

Someone had clearly dished up the dirt on Holley. The news about Holley's fake pregnancy and fake miscarriage was the talk of the town at the moment. Holley was totally doomed as even her picture before her plastic surgery was spreading like wildfire on social media. The scandalous news and rumors concerning her dating another man was the most talked-about controversy anywhere.

Yet, in hindsight, Holley was not the only one to be affected by this controversy. As soon as the news broke out, the Tarsan Corporation also lost a few projects. Even the Hu Group began to embark on the journey of humiliation.

Cassie covered her mouth in astonishment. It all seemed so surreal and unbelievable. She was amazed and shocked all at once and realized that Charles had managed to dig out so much about Holley's past.

"It seems that Charles still cares about Sher. Otherwise, why would he have bothered to ruin Holley's reputation this way?" Isla could not resist for even a second to compliment Charles, realizing how much agony the news must have caused Holley.

In the very next moment, Isla was struck by sudden reality. She turned her head and asked Cassie in confusion, "But, why would Charles have divorced Sher if he still cares about her? I remembered how reluctant he was when Sheryl proposed a divorce. Did something happen that we are not aware of?"

Cassie was lost in deep thoughts as she contemplated on the words she just heard.

Finally, after figuring out what to say, Cassie replied to Isla, "We don't really know about that. I guess we are just left with the option to merely wait and see what happens next. I heard from Nick that something was going on in the Shining Company. I believe we'll find out what exactly happened, once President Lu settles everything down."

Although not even a single thing made sense to Cassie either, she was afraid that Isla would act impulsively. She decided to respond by calming her down and restricting her from doing any crazy stuff.

"I hope we find out the truth soon. Otherwise, I swear I will make Leila pay for what she has done!" Isla responded in a rather threatening pitch.

Isla knew that Leila was the reason why Charles and Sheryl's marriage had been dissolved. Indeed, it was all Leila's fault.

Just the thought of Leila was enough to make Isla's blood run cold. Lost in her thoughts Isla, accidentally stepped on the gas pedal with a stronger force, which pushed Cassie backward in her seat with a thrust. Cassie grabbed the door handle immediately and said anxiously, "Isla, slow down. Drive safely! Nick is waiting for me to come home alive."

"Fine, I know you have a happy relationship. Don't show it off!" Isla was amused by how fearful Cassie was, so she slowed down immediately.

Isla and Cassie had a pleasant gossip session throughout their drive. Soon, they arrived at Cassie's home, where Nick was already standing at the gate, excitedly anticipating their arrival.

Deep in her heart, Isla envied Nick and Cassie's relationship. Yet, discerning in her head how contented her marriage with Aron was, she could not let the feelings of envy prevail and gave a wide smile.

"Isla, why are you smiling like that?" Nick teased Isla as he saw her sitting in the driver's seat, giggling without any reason.

"None of your business, Nick. Go home. Your Cassie is here. Bye!" Isla was embarrassed, yet, she managed to put on a serious face. She waved goodbye to Nick and drove away quickly.

"Why did Isla go to pick you up, Cassie?" Nick softly wrapped his arm around Cassie's waist as he asked her in confusion.

"It's Holley! Didn't you read the news? President Lu did that. Isla was so excited about the news, and she could not resist to break it to me personally," Cassie sighed and walked inside their home with Nick.

At Holley's place
